Maou no Hajimekata

"Well, if there's an explanation, let me hear it."

When Oul called Zana, he asked that deeply, sitting in a chair with his legs together.

"Why did you stop then?

If you just couldn't win without strength, Oulu won't blame you.

But that time he cornered Uselmart, Zana obviously stopped the attack of her own volition.

"Yeldave... she is my fruitful sister"

Xana leans down, answering to make a monologue.

"What?

Beauty in a slender shape with white skin, covered in one or thick fur.

A woman with a full-bodied body with brown skin that is also exposed to one skin.

I didn't realize it because its atmosphere was too remote, but if you think back often, its purple crystal-like hair color was certainly very similar.

"Uselmart took my sister... and took the sun of my kingdom. Half of what he knows is the power of Yeldave. Remember the collar on that kid's neck?

"Oh."

That fat, boneless collar in a fancier outfit than Lil's was grossly disproportionate, for a short time, but impressive.

"There's a curse on that one. If they put it on, at the end of the day, they can't take it off again and lose themselves. You're going to be a doll who listens to Uselmart's orders."

Xana says, biting her back teeth.

Overflowing anger and hatred poured into Oul's heart conveying a connected soul.

"I see... is that why you hated Uselmart so much"

I thought it was too deep an abomination to be just an abomination directed against the king of an enemy country.

If you are being grabbed by your sister and forced to rule, you are also convinced of the hatred.

"Yep. Sorry...... but I'll kill you next time"

With her determined eyes, Zana shrugs.

Swirling in its heart is a strong hatred.

... but Oul held something there, something like discomfort.

I can't put it into words, it's like I'm missing something, that feeling.

"Owl, it's tough!

Tena rushed in before it grabbed anything, and Oulu's thoughts were fogged.

"The corpses will come over the mountain in five days. Then the dungeon will fall in ten days."

"What? There's still got to be a month before the snow melts, right?

The snowmelt period is not only tena prediction, but also meteorology and past statistics that have taken the back.

It's not that easy to change either.

"Um, yeah. Then they'll be forced to melt the snow with the art of fire."

"You have that much power, or..."

Indeed, at that time, the flames of Usermart made part of Snow Mountain disappear. That calorie wouldn't even make it to melt snow, but the Yaet Kid Mountains are high and wide. Ten or twenty flames are not enough if you are to melt all the snow piles you can traverse.

"A huge mass of flames shines out the mountains as if it were another sun. Its heat melts snow...... and burns down most of this dungeon too"

With the waist of the tenor four tails twitched and flamed in the void. And I thought it was blurred as if ink seeped into the paper, and the flames became colored footage and ran into the universe.

Drawn is a pile of trials in which large holes are worn and lava is blown out of all places as if it were blood. And then she burns her skin in a similar way, making her skin rot and cry like Sophia.

――

Only then does Oul open his eyes and feel so angry that he loses his words. But that's not all the footage Tena was showing. Hodeli, Sakya, even Eunice is pushed by countless corpse soldiers and killed after exhaustion. And Oul was also burned down by the flames of Usermart, and lost his life.

In a dungeon of no more moving things, Usermart grabs Sophia's hair, which cries, and deposits it with the corpse soldiers in a mess as if dealing with livestock or even luggage. He doesn't want to kill me, but he doesn't even intend to treat me politely.

"Enough is enough, stop -"

"Wait."

Tena stopped the oul trying to make it stop by a sight so unpleasant.

"What...!?

Uselmart, painted with flames, turned around. It's not a coincidence, its gaze clearly captures the tena... and the oul. And that mouth opened.

"'Are you watching? O demon king of the foreign kingdom.'"

Projections by fox fire cannot reproduce even the voice. Tena speaks the word instead.

"This is your destiny."

"Really... are you looking at the past?

"'That's right. The rest is not foreseeable. But in the past, we can know. So I know what you're going to say. And the way to go." "

It was a really strange sight. Prediction and Knowledge.

Two abilities make conversations between the past and the future.

"'But I am too spared to destroy you. So let's make a deal'"

"You think it's a deal?

"'Oh. God of the Mountains of Fire. Horned and feathered woman. Blonde daughter using a four-wielding sword. Give it to me and I will do it without taking the life of anything else." "

Uselmart's designation would be about Sakya, Lil and Marie.

In the future world that Tena's predictions portrayed, they had been killed by corpse soldiers and had already become untold corpses. Lil was also likely burned by the flames of Usermart and destroyed every body, just like Logan.

"What's the purpose?

But without knowing what the three of them had in common, Oul asks.

"'Purpose? You think that's what this is about?

Tena on the boulder doesn't reproduce to laughter either, but I found that Uselmart was mocking Oulu just for the video.

"'What but offend, such as the use of women'"

"Negotiation is a breakdown. I'll slap that neck off. Stay tuned."

With Oulu's words, the phantom of fox fire scratches out.

That's just an illusion, one of the possibilities that might be in the future.

But they know everything.

The conversation itself is probably being passed on again to the current Uselmart.

"Hey, Oul... I can handle his deal."

He didn't seem to like it, but Lil said so.

"If he is willing to hold me, he is the Lord of Sacubas. I'll keep pulling your soul out."

"No... it doesn't work that well"

Oul shook his head. Zana's collar of obedience.

I don't know what that is, but it will probably work for the devil as well.

Above all, Oul himself didn't have the fur to let other men hold his own woman, whether it was for a purpose or not.

"- Anyway, we'll work out measures. Lil, Spina, get ready for the meeting. Eunice, you keep the army moving at all times. Tena, if you see any new information in the prediction, it's good at midnight, let me know right away."

Oulu heads to the conference room as he skips the instructions early in the arrowhead.

That said, we only have five days to prepare. It could even be shorter. Because Tena's prediction has the fatal drawback of not being able to predict the consequences of the behavior that she knew and changed.

Even if the countermeasure is devised, the other party senses the contents.

Would it be possible to strike a useful hand in such a situation?

"Master Oulu, what about me?

"You... watch over Sophia."

To Marie asking, Oul said. I don't see her on this occasion, but Sophia knows everything if it's something in the dungeon. I saw the footage earlier, and you must be in shock.

"... ok"

Marie nodded in remorse. Oulu's instructions are not wrong. I didn't feel like Marie could say anything useful at the meeting, and I couldn't even help Eunice.

But I couldn't wait to regret that the person who killed Logan couldn't do anything.

"... Um"

Zana talks to Marie, who is left on the spot.

"There is one useful hand that only you can do...... would you like to hear?

With a nickel and a people-loving grin, the ice queen took it that way.
